How is the handling?
The AEG sewing machine was built especially for children and beginners and offers its users a stitch plate with distance engraving. The individual stitches can be selected easily and conveniently, users write in the reviews on Amazon. This free-arm sewing machine also offers a practical flatbed slide-on table, which makes it much easier to handle the machine. This has a very positive effect in view of the fact that the AEG is a beginner’s sewing machine. Another positive impression is the additional sewing foot pressure as well as the already integrated upper thread tension. In addition, a glare-free sewing light can be used here. We award 4.5 of 5 stars.
How is the processing?
The sewing machine Nm-1714 offers only a mediocre finish. Remarkable is the compact design of this machine. It is shock-resistant and can even withstand a slight fall from the table, the manufacturer says. With its dimensions of 22 x 32 x 43 cm and a total weight of 7 kilograms, the AEG can be carried from one room to the next using the retractable transport control. We award 3.5 of 5 stars.
Price/Performance
With its purchase price of EUR 0 (price currently not available, assessment is based on the original price) AEG is in a favourable price segment. Although the user has to do without some professional features because of this low price, the AEG is still able to offer a number of new features. For children and beginners, however, who only want to sew something occasionally, it offers quite a lot. We award 4 out of 5 stars.

If you want to buy a sewing machine for your child or the beginner, then the Nm-1714 is the right choice. It offers a simplified removal system and various smaller functions that are specially designed for sewing with children’s hands. We award a total of 4 out of 5 stars based on customer opinions and product description. At Amazon we currently find 1 customer review, which awards an average of 0 (not yet) stars.
